BATES, Ian Palmer
12/10/1940 - 08/05/2026

After a long and fulfilling life, our beloved husband, father and grandfather passed away peacefully in his sleep. Ian lived life to the fullest, with a distinguished and far-reaching career as a leader in his field of Electrical Engineering with the SECV, and as a respected Professor at RMIT. He was a Christian man with a remarkable generosity of spirit, a love of education, and he took immense pride and joy in the achievements of his much-loved children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed and forever loved by his wife Carol, daughters Catherine, Elissa, Michele and Helena,
and his cherished grandchildren
Corey, Kahlia, Jackson, Sam, Jessica, Charlie and Lucas.
